8. NETWORK
CONNECTION
The driver can be connected via a network connection to:
1.
a computer running the VPM software, for setting the parameters
before commissioning;
2.
a pCO controller, loaded with the application program;
3.
a PlantVisor/PlantVisorPRO supervisor, for remote monitoring and
alarm detection.
8.1 RS485 serial configuration
n1 assigns to the controller an address for serial connection to a
supervisory and/or telemaintenance system.

Important:
all controllers connected in a serial network need to be
set with the same communication parameters.
8.2 Network connection for commissioning
via PC
Warnings:
•
fasten the converter properly so as to prevent disconnection;
•
complete the wiring without power connected;
•
keep the CVSTDUMOR0 interface cables separate from the power
cables (power supply);
•
in compliance with standards on electromagnetic compatibility, a
shielded cable suitable for RS485 data transmission is used.
The RS485 converter is used to connect a computer running the VPM
software to the EVD mini driver via a serial network, for commissioning
the controllers. The system allows a maximum of 99 units, with a
maximum network length of 500 m. Connection requires the standard
accessories (RS485-USB converter, CAREL P/N CVSTDUMOR0) and a 120 Ω
terminating resistor to be installed on the terminals of the last connected
controller. Connect the RS485 converter to controllers and make the
connections as shown in the figure. To assign the serial address, see
parameter n1. See the converter technical leaflets for further information.

8.3 Visual parameter manager
Go to http://ksa.carel.com and follow the instructions below. Select in
sequence:
1.
“Software & Support”
2.
“Configuration & Updating Softwares”
3.
“Parametric Controller Software”
4.
“Visual Parametric Manager”
A window will open with the possibility to download two files:
1.
VPM_setup_X.Y.Z.W_full.zip: complete program;
2.
X.Y.Z.W_VPM_Devices_Upgrade.zip: upgrade for supported devices;
If this is the first installation, select Setup full, otherwise Upgrade. The
program installs automatically by running setup.exe.
Note:
if choosing complete installation (Setup full), uninstall any
previous versions of VPM.
P
rogramming
When opening the program, the device to be configured needs to be
selected: EVD mini. The Home page then opens, offering the choice
between starting a new project or opening an existing project. If using
the program for the first time, choose new project.
